bmwsparkle 3 Report post Posted August 10, 2005 i think ive seen it before. Must be an american import. Its big work changing to euro bumpers. I say leave them. Mainly for the comical effect But seriously, check out www.mye28.com for great info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bem-on 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2005 yeah should turn it into Demolition derby racer, won’t need to do much, just a cage and we’re set, :rambo: so its not a straight swap. Gosh those Americans, why do they have to be so different? Not only are they not metric and right hand drive… hay wait a minute, the car is right hand drive, still mean its American?

Rod 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2005 I always am pretty keen when it comes to vehicles, a high percentage of my bloodstream is probably octane and toluene. bem-on, you have the federal super bumpers? Oh no, those things look hideous, you better grab the bumpers while you can. It is hard to find an E28 with straight bumpers. From what I have seen and read for the front you will need the bumper and everything below it. For the rear it is probably the bumper and brackets only? The centre sections of my bumpers are almost brand new because I bought them new awhile back. The rear right section however has a slight bend in it and the previous owner decided to revive all the exterior rubber (side door strips, bumper rubbers, spoiler, etc) with black tyre paint using a brush, real handy. The rear bumper rubber also got stretched when the bumper got bent so it does not fit very well now. Therefore my intention is to replace all the exterior rubber, front grill, etc. As I said earlier any leftover parts I would be keen on. There are a whole pile of other bits I am interested in, headlamps, window trim and too many other bits to type here. Let me know later what you guys do not use or want.

I think those bumpers are bloody marvellous !!! If you go out to the country you won't need to take deck chairs, that front bumper will seat at least 4 !!!!

bem-on 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2005 i would but i dont know how to put pics up. Could you guys imagine getting hit by one of them? You would get smashed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topless 13 Report post Posted August 11, 2005 Hey, I had the same problem trying to get pics up. Nearly drove Gus and Grant scatty... problem was that I was trying to preview the posting with the pic up and it didn't appear so thought I was doing something wrong. Type your post first, then use the file attachment bit at the bottom and give the link to the pic there. (I find a 100k pic is about the right size so it doesn't make you have to scroll across the screen to see the whole thing...) Then hit the add reply button, don't try to use the preview button or the pic disappears. I'm old so have an excuse for stuffing things up like this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
